Default Old Vehicle ID.

Pic is on the farm in Brunkild Manitoba in 1918.
My Grandfather is behind the wheel and was 16 years old at the time. His brother standing next to him.

Is anyone able to identify the vehicle?
Assuming Model T, but curious as to year.

Excellent keepsake picture.

My guess... It looks like a 1917 Ford Model T 3 door 5 passenger touring car.

Cool pic!!, not too many cars on the road in those years.

IIRC the louvered hood came out in 1915.

Definitely a 1915. Great Picture. I would definitely frame it and protect it from direct sunlight. That one would be worth taking to someone like McBains to preserve and perhaps hang a copy for display.
